Vic f ExprinceWhen the estimate for the cabinetry homeowner

Heidi McAllister had designed came in at around

$70,000, Heidi knew shed need to scale back. By

deploying a fairly ornate antique Swedish store

counter ($900) as the kitchen island, she was able

to simplify the cabinetry design and save money,

limiting complex detail to a stepped cornice that tied

everything to the architecture and the island. The

price of the kitchen cabinetry in the end? A little

more than half of the original estimate!

og The house in the late 1780s, shortly afterconstruction, had no porch. The porch was addedin the 1880s. Subsequent widening of the streetcreated a steep climb to the house.

M s The chimney, radiator, andinauthentic paneling were removed. Today, avanity and shower supersede the old claw-foottub and pedestal sink. Floors were strippedand lightened.

k After gutting, the dark, period-inappropriate cabinetry is history. The openingin the wall is where the McAllisters placed thenew range.

Dm During the previous owners timein the home, existing lathe and debris from theupper level was removed from the home throughopen windows. The resulting pile is seen here.
